'Boards Of Janitors' - a lo-fi warbly cassette Patcher effect

Hi,

I made this Patcher effect to try and create a lo-fi, random'y, warbly Boards Of Canada vibe ("Janitor" was about the closet rhyme I could think of, especially if said by a grizzled old New York'r).

Hadn't planned on fully implementing a GUI and posting it, but then I got an idea for the interface that I thought was fun.

Linking a variety of very simple, rough-sketch music examples below just as points of reference. They all have it on the Master Buss, but obv could work well on a single insert. Each example starts with the effect bypassed and then engaged as it loops around.

I've found the controls to be fairly interdependent, and I recommend playing about with them to see how they might react to each other (esp depending on the timbre they're being fed). The naming of said controls may feel off-base to your ears, but I called them what they made me think of while fiddling.

Vimeo link is a 2 min vid of me demoing the controls as a loop plays so you can see/hear it in action. (I tried to post the vid inline here, but it didnt have sound? Operator error perhaps?)

Def could use more finessing (seeing Francesco Rossini's robust and wonderful RC-20 Retro clone that he posted a few days ago already gave me more ideas! Very well done!), but for now it is what is.

Hopefully someone's finds Boards Of Janitors cool/helpful/inspiring/amusing.

Cheers,

ps - was stable and performed well on my end. hopefully yours too.
pps - oh yeah, there's no balance control, it's always full wet the way I implemented it. a balance control was introducing some phasing issues. :/
